For Really, Really Short Attention Spans

Internet syndicator dailylit.com has been sending members short snippets of books via email and RSS for a while now. Every day, another bit of Iron John or Banker to the Poor shows up in your inbox or RSS aggregator. But if that much content is too, too overwhelming for you, fear not; you can now receive your daily shot of lit via twitter.com.

If you're not already a twit here's how it works: You can post little messages--140 characters or less--throughout the day, telling everyone who wants to know what you're doing and thinking. You can also follow your friends' postings, so you know what they're doing.

All well and good, but how many folks are going to read Pride and Prejudice 140 characters at a time? One hundred and nine had signed up at last count. You can learn more about dailylit's tweets here. If you sign up, please let us know what you think.--David E
